I was actually talking about the D70 when I said it was flimsier than I was expectin!
Yeah, the leap in image quality when using a decent lense is off the scale. I was perfectly satisfied with the pictures I was taking until I purchased my first pricey lense. I never used the kit lense though, so I can't comment specifically on that. Also, for megalithy photography, a polarising filter is worth its weight in gold.
